Use a secure non-Windows OS

Any OS can be insecure and have the potential to compromise your wallet file. It all depends on the user. You can be using OpenBSD but have a password called love123.

WTF is FreeOTFE and why would one use it instead of TrueCrypt?

4  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Bitcoin application generating a new receiving address each time it's run on: June 16, 2011, 08:52:52 PM
Making a new address for each transaction is an anonymity feature, and helps you track where you are getting your money from

This doesn't help track at all, in fact it does the opposite, it clutters up my "receiving" address book. I've seen it generate new addresses for transactions *from* the same person (but that person is only sending to the address he knows). None of the new addresses are used for anything it's just automatically generated.

Tell me how the sender would know the auto generated address when it's only generated if he sends payment to an address I've shared with him?

Just so you know, we are talking about the Windows client automatically generating "Receiving" addresses, without being asked to generate them. Yes I do have multiple addresses for different people so I know where the transactions come from, this is another case, the client is randomly generating addresses due to something that looks like a UI and or some other bug.

I was going to copy over a nightly build and see if it does the same, but the version number of nightly builds I see are much older than the current release on bitcoin.org  Huh

Please note, games gifted through Steam can be removed from your account if the payment method used was fraudulent and or the charges were reversed by the card holder.


Sauce.

This has been happening to me too.

I kinda figured it out, the bitcoin client automatically makes "New..." active focus, thus when you press any key with the bitcoin client in foreground, it makes a new key. Has happened to me 6 times so far.

Edit: I also noticed it does make a new address when the application is first started and or receiving a transaction (I got bunch today and there were several new addresses). Undecided

This was on a newly upgraded installation with the latest bitcoin available from bitcoin.org (win). The AppData folder was the only one remaining from previous installation for wallet.

Your OC would reset on reboot, but you can burn a new bios with those settings if they are stable. Make sure Linux uses the proper fan controls or you'd overheat.
19  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 2x5870 Win 7 64bit - cannot overclock on: June 10, 2011, 07:14:29 PM
This happened to me when I used an ATI card, after months of using/OC'ing a Nvidia card with Afterburner. Clean re-install solves it.

What worries me is that there are people who'd fall for this.
